Snipe season of old

[zimmerstutzen]

Per Act of 1870 Purdon 1608

Section 3 No person shall kill, capture, take or have in his possession, any gray snipe, or English Snipe, between the fifteenth day of November and the first day of September, under a penalty of five dollars for each and every bird so killed, or had in possession, or exposed for sale.

Sand piper?? never thought of eating them but hey, the islands on the river are full of them, more than likely they taste like dove.

No clue what a Snipe is. Perhaps something like a Virginia Rail, which is a migratory bird that is managed today ?

I saw a Snipe while pheasant hunting the last two mornings in a row.

You sure it wasn't a woodcock? I've never seen a snipe myself. I have looked for them in the middle of the night though with a burlap sack! LOL

I see a good number of woodcock where I hunt and this one seemed small.
